India’s sixth largest city, Chennai, is in crisis after its reservoirs and rivers ran dry.
Scenario in Chennai:
In 2015, Rains inundated Chennai, but this summer, Chennai’s 8 million residents have watched their reservoirs run dry.
Storage levels at its four reservoirs -- Red Hills, Poondi, Cholavaram and Chembarambakkam -- stands at 1.6 million cubic metres, less than one % of total capacity.
Meanwhile, a train service aims to deliver 10 million litres of water daily to Chennai from a dam located about 360 kilometres (224 miles) away in Jolarpettai.
